2016 Access, Equity & Excellence

League of Education Voter’s 6th Annual Activist Training

Saturday, January 23rd, 2016

9:00 - 4:00 pm

In Last year’s legislative session, elected officials directed over one billion dollars towards K-12 funding.

Where did the billion dollars go? How can you find out?

Are all communities being asked about how money should be spent?

Should districts with higher-needs students receive more money?

Join the League of Education Voters and a host of community partners as we follow the money and ask the question on everyone’s mind: Is Funding an Equity Issue? Get the knowledge and the tools you need to speak up and start this important conversation in your own community, all among the company of like-minded education advocates.

Panel topics will include:

The importance of career and technical education in meeting the needs of Washington businesses,

The status of charter schools in Washington state,

Education funding and update on McCleary,

Advocacy for families of children with special needs (in English and Spanish),

Financial Aid 101,

And a lunchtime panel on parent organizing in King County.
